the world outside the scientific paradigm.

what exists outside of measurement, prediction and control?

chaos?

art?

creativity?

healing?

life it`s self?

all of those things. the scary, frightening, uncertain existance that makes up everyday existance. the thing we crave most. freedom from the "oh, don`t do thats" or the "what if that happens?"

wre aren`t irresponsible to want freedom from these things. we are merely spirits trying to make the best of things in these meatbags.

some aren`t making it as easy as they might. lots of fear in the air at the moment.

i`ve got a message for all the experts who know the intimate details of the risks involved.

stop looking at such grim numbers and look outside. the sun`s shining and people are out there playing. you can join them if you wish.........if you want.........can you see yourself running around and laughing and joking? you only have so many opportunities to join in. and that`s not statistics. that`s just a fact.

Hello.

Read some of your stuff. Trendy and cool, and I really wonder if you can handle the idea of meeting somebody who was superior to you?

This is a really tough question for people who are into the "I accept everybody" thing.

More often than not, people who are into the peace and love thing refuse to believe it is possible for anybody to actually be smarter and better and in fact superior.

The only answer I have is that I doubt that it mattes much, when it seems like more of a regional thing, like any given town can only toldrate a limited number of people who have the types of philosophies you talk about.

So, could you stand it if you met somebody who had spirit and had spent thirty years experimenting with it like it was a toy..., and mastering the tactics available?

Do you assume they would be friendly?

I'll be around, I call myself Teeg, I win some, I lose some and I write some.

Keep writing.

superior? wow. i guess that`s a matter of perception. i like the bit about assuming they would be friendly. it suggests an almost alien persona.

could i handle it?

great question. not sure. i would make the effort to.

i do think that if they had mastered the tactics available, in my view of superiority, one wouldn`t be able to tell they were superior, and they wouldn`t be concerned that i could.

thanks for the encouragement to write teeg, glad you stopped by.

the terms smarter, better and
superior are fairly subjective and open to interpretation. the idea of smarter has got many into trouble. as a child i was i.q. tested as my parents, well, my father, was concerned about certain aspects of my behaviour. all they (he) discovered was that i was smart (er). that just made him more concerned. sigh........

better and superior?, well, you decide who those people are by the values you have for yourself.
